What is ISLET CELL ANTIBODY?
The Islet Cell Antibody test detects specific antibodies that target the insulin-producing cells (islet cells) in your pancreas. These antibodies are often present when the immune system mistakenly attacks these cells.
Why is this test important?
This test is primarily used to help diagnose Type 1 Diabetes, an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system destroys islet cells. It can also help assess the risk of developing Type 1 Diabetes in individuals with a family history or other risk factors.
